That's what VandalShyster said. We are kidless but he doesn't understand that if he can think about what a pet is up to during the day (or me even), that someone wouldn't wonder what their kid was up to during the day.

I also thought that if the day care had called and said "Little Jimmy isn't at daycare today, and you haven't called in to say he is ill or that he wasn't coming in." perhaps the baby would have been found in time. I worked for a day care as a teenager, at least 10 years ago, and we always called if we didn't know the status of a child. Granted it was mostly related to custody issues, but I think it is a good policy.

I said that also, but a few of my co workers (who have kids) said that most of the time, that isn't the case with daycare calling parents to check on absent kids....
